A boy is running on the plane road with velocity $v$ with a long hollow tube in his hand. The water is failing vertically downwards with velocity $u$. At what angle to the vertical, he must incline the tube so that the water drops enter it without touching its sides?

  • A

    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)$

  • B

    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)$

  • C

    $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{v}\right)$

  • D

    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{v}{u}\right)$
